VLSI chip set for high-performance avionic computers
Abstract
It is pointed out that today's avionics computers must combine high processing throughput with low power consumption and small size, and yet remain cost-effective and flexible. As the result of new technological developments, the considered requirements can be satisfied with the aid of a VLSI chip set. This chip set consists of four chips, including the microsequencer (USEQ), the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), the operand generator unit (OGU), and the memory controller unit (MCU). The four chips can be configured (with appropriate support chips) to implement the Air Force standard instruction set architecture (ISA), MIL-STD-1750 A. The same chips can also be used to emulate the Navy standard 16-bit computers: AN/UYK-20, AN/AYK-14, and AN/UYK-44.
